Cambridge and The Great War: How the City Survived – Part 2

In the second part of our documentary Leigh Chambers hears the experiences of Cambridge men on the battlefields of France and Belgium, and life for the women left behind at home. Roger Lilley, first world war postcard collector, discusses the morale boosting effects of communication between families in the UK and men fighting at the front, and what these postcards can tell us today. We’ll also look at what happened to the men once they returned to Cambridge and what, if anything, they told their families about life as a soldier.

Newsreader: Tony Barnfield
Producer: Neil Whiteside

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge Radio is the Community broadcaster for Cambridge and South Cambs.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
